Improv Stir Fry

No recipe, this was strictly wingin' it. I had some basmati rice I cooked a few days ago for another dish I've forgotten.



So strictly with what was on hand:



Improv Fried Rice
1/3 cup canola oil
6 dried chilies
1 tablespoon mustard seeds
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
20 (or so) fresh curry leaves, torn
1 diced onion
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/2 cup fish sauce (I used a Thai fish sauce recommended by the market owner)
1/2 cup oyster sauce
1/4 cup crushed peanuts
eight cups cooked rice, refrigerated
4 eggs
1 cup frozen peas
1 tablespoon sesame oil
Heat canola oil, chillies, and curry leaves until they start to change color; add onion, mustard seed and cayenne, keep stuff moving. When edges of onion pieces brown, add garlic, peas, fish and oyster sauces, rice and keep moving until rice is broken up. Add a splash of water if you've neglected the leftover rice fora few days, rendering it too dry even for stir fry. Crack in four eggs and keep everything moving until it looks about right. Serve with red onion loops and alfalfa sprouts for garnish (or whatever you have on hand).



Would have been better if I'd had some bean sprouts or bell peppers, something crunchy to add at the end...
